To help reconcile the horrors he witnessed in the Holy Land, Hugo de Payen is sent on a quest to find the Ark of the Covenant. Abbot Bernard of Clairvaux warns Hugo and his fledgling knights of the malevolent cult that will stop at nothing to reach the Ark first and inflict a terrible vengeance across the Holy Land. The future of Christianity is at stake as rumours of a holy relic in Lydda gather pace, sparking a race that leads down to the poisonous depths of the church crypt. The discovery could elevate the faith to new heights. Or destroy Christendom forever. The unremitting conflict between Hugh Bigod and his brother William reaches new depths and the deadliest maritime disaster of the medieval age sends their lives spiralling out of control, leaving Hugh to face a momentous life and death decision.

Life for William Bigod has taken an unexpected turn...one that he relishes. His new life as a horse farmer together with the love of a good wife and young family, far out weigh the anxieties he once felt for England. But his association with the Knights Templars leads to personal disaster. With the destruction of all he holds dear, he must decide if he should retire into obscurity or allow himself to be drawn down a dangerous road of bloody retribution and assassination. England descends into a terrible Civil War between King Stephen and Matilda, the daughter of King Henry. Against this background, Hugh Bigod becomes embroiled in the appalling murder of a young tanner boy. The Jews of Norwich stand accused of the death and Hugh sees a chance to benefit from the tragedy. Justice seems to be a secondary concern.The Bigod ChroniclesBook One IlgerBook Two The OrderBook Three WilliamBook Four Hugh
